On September 23, 1868 in Lares, a group of brave souls rose up to secure independence from the Spanish colonizers and social justice for all Puerto Ricans. On September 23, 2023 on the Lower East Side, we commemorate their bravery and the legacy of resistance that has endured on the archipelago and in the diaspora in the 155 years since.
Grito de Lares represented a dream among Puerto Ricans not only for independence from Spain, but for democratic reforms and the abolition of slavery. It is clear that the legacy of resistance remains strong in Puerto Rico, even after years of austerity imposed by PROMESA and the devastation of Hurricane Maria.
